On 9 October 2024, the Bourse de Commerce — Pinault Collection host an expansive exhibition devoted to Arte Povera. The exhibition “Arte Povera” traces the birth in Italy and the development and legacy of this movement across the globe.
The curator, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, an internationally recognised expert in Arte Povera, has assembled more than 250 works for the museum by the thirteen protagonists of Arte Povera—Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Emilio Prini, and Gilberto Zorio – as well as new commissions given to the artists of this historic group and to international artists of the following generations whose work resonates strongly with the thought and practice of Arte Povera.
